In 2022, ALTERELEC achieves revenue of 2.1 M€. Over the period 2016-2022, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +9.3%. Vs 2021, growth of +25% (1.6 M€ -> 2.1 M€). After deducting consumption (448 k€), gross margin stands at 1.6 M€, i.e. a rate of 78%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 635 k€, representing 30.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+25%), EBITDA varies by -4%, reducing margin by 9.5 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 538 k€, i.e. 26.1% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

Average customer payment term: 87 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 36 days.
